Book Synopsis
An exhilarating memoir by a daughter uncovering the secret of her father's rags-to-riches story, from poor farm boy to international drug smuggler, and the many mysteries surrounding his sudden death by plane crash. Nothing seemed awry the morning that five-year-old Artis Chester climbed into her father's plane: this was simply their usual Saturday bonding. But moments after they take off into the crystal blue sky, the plane plummets to the ground, leaving Artis with a broken body--and without a father. This tragedy would be enough to shape any young life, but Artis's world is further turned upside down when, shortly thereafter, the IRS arrives to seize all her family's possessions. Lamar Chester had always had an air of mystery about him, but now her mother won't say a word. He'd been a dashing commercial pilot, settling his family in a palatial estate in Georgia, amassing a collection of boats, cars, a private plane and even a group of islands in the Bahamas. But Artis, as a youn
